2 Samuel 9
1 And he said David ¿ for [is] there still [one] who he is left to [the] house of Saul so I may do with him covenant loyalty for sake of Jonathan.
Dawudi n’abuuza nti, “Wakyaliwo omuntu mu nnyumba ya Sawulo eyasigalawo gwe nnyinza okulaga ekisa ku lwa Yonasaani?”
2 And [belonged] to [the] house of Saul a servant and name his [was] Ziba and people summoned him to David and he said the king to him ¿ [are] you Ziba and he said servant your.
Awo waaliwo omuddu mu nnyumba ya Sawulo erinnya lye Ziba. Ne bamutumya, n’ajja mu maaso ga Dawudi. Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Ziba?” N’addamu nti, “Nze wuuyo omuddu wo.”
3 And he said the king ¿ [is] there not still anyone of [the] house of Saul so I may do with him [the] covenant loyalty of God and he said Ziba to the king still a son of Jonathan stricken of both feet.
Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Tewaliwo muntu mu nnyumba ya Sawulo eyasigalawo gwe nnyinza okukolera ebirungi olw’ekisa kya Katonda?” Ziba n’addamu kabaka nti, “Wakyaliwo mutabani wa Yonasaani, eyalemala ebigere.”
4 And he said to him the king where? [is] he and he said Ziba to the king here! he [is] [the] house of Makir [the] son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.
Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Ali ludda wa?” Ziba n’amuddamu nti, “Ali mu nnyumba ya Makiri mutabani wa Ammiyeri mu Lodebali.”
5 And he sent the king David and he took him from [the] house of Makir [the] son of Ammiel from Lo Debar.
Awo Dawudi n’amutumya, ne bamuleeta okuva mu nnyumba ya Makiri mutabani wa Ammiyeri mu Lodebali.
6 And he came Mephibosheth [the] son of Jonathan [the] son of Saul to David and he fell on face his and he bowed down and he said David O Mephibosheth and he said here! [is] servant your.
Mefibosesi mutabani wa Yonasaani, muzzukulu wa Sawulo n’ajja eri Dawudi n’avuunama mu maaso ge. Dawudi n’amubuuza nti, “Ggwe Mefibosesi?” N’addamu nti, “Nze wuuyo omuddu wo.”
7 And he said to him David may not you be afraid for certainly I will do with you covenant loyalty for sake of Jonathan father your and I will restore to you all [the] land of Saul father your and you you will eat food on table my continually.
Dawudi n’amugamba nti, “Totya kubanga siireme kukukolera bya kisa ku lwa Yonasaani kitaawo. Nzija kukuddiza ettaka lyonna eryali erya jjajjaawo Sawulo, era onooliranga ku mmeeza yange.”
8 And he bowed down and he said what? [is] servant your that you have turned to the dog dead who [is] like me.
Mefibosesi ne yeeyanza n’ayogera nti, “Omuddu wo kye ki, okufaayo ku mbwa enfu nga nze?”
9 And he summoned the king Ziba [the] servant of Saul and he said to him all that it belonged to Saul and to all household his I have given to [the] son of master your.
Awo kabaka n’ayita Ziba, omuddu wa Sawulo, n’amugamba nti, “Mpadde muzzukulu wa mukama wo ebintu byonna ebyali ebya Sawulo n’ennyumba ye.
10 And you will work for him the land you and sons your and servants your and you will bring and it will be for [the] son of master your food and he will eat it and Mephibosheth [the] son of master your he will eat continually food on table my and [belonged] to Ziba fif-teen sons and twenty servants.
Ggwe ne batabani bo n’abaddu bo munaamulimiranga ettaka ne muleeta ebibala ebirivaamu, muzzukulu wa mukama wo abenga n’ekyokulya. Mefibosesi muzzukulu wa mukama wo, ye anaaliiranga ku mmeeza yange nange, ennaku zange zonna.” Ziba yalina abaana aboobulenzi kkumi na bataano n’abaddu amakumi abiri.
11 And he said Ziba to the king according to all that he will command lord my the king servant his so he will do servant your and Mephibosheth [was] eating on table my like one from [the] children of the king.
Awo Ziba n’agamba kabaka nti, “Nga bw’olagidde mukama wange kabaka, bwe kijja okukolebwa omuddu wo.” Mefibosesi n’aliiranga ku mmeeza ya Dawudi ng’omu ku balangira.
12 And [belonged] to Mephibosheth a son young and name his [was] Mica and every resident of [the] house of Ziba [were] servants of Mephibosheth.
Mefibosesi yalina mutabani we omuto, eyayitibwanga Mikka, ne bonna abaali ab’ennyumba ya Ziba baali baddu ba Mefibosesi.
13 And Mephibosheth [was] dwelling in Jerusalem for on [the] table of the king continually he [was] eating and he ([was] lame *LA(bh)*) [the] two feet his.
Mefibosesi n’abeera mu Yerusaalemi kubanga yaliiranga ku mmeeza ya kabaka. Yali yalemala ebigere.
